Marcos Verduzco Lopez is wanted for the double homicide of 33-year old Ignacio Garcia and 29-year old Julio Lugo. Information on this case was provided from the archives of the Yakima Herald newspaper (more details below).
Authorities say that Ignacio and Julio went to see Marcos in order to collect a debt. Once Marcos got into Julio's car, Marcos allegedly shot Ignacio and Julio to death. The car was then set on fire and the bodies of Ignacio and Julio were discovered inside. Marcos has been a fugitive ever since February 2, 1996.
Based on crime location, it is advised to contact the Yakima County Sheriff's Office at 509-574-2500 if you have any information on Marcos Verduzco Lopez's whereabouts.

Thoughts? As of today, October 25, 2022, Marcos's 1996 case is listed as "on warrant" in Washington State's Odyssey Court Records database with no updates since 1996. I checked PACER and did not see an UFAP (Unlawful Flight To Avoid Prosecution) case for him. The online records may not go back that far however.
I wanted to clarify that the Yakima Herald archives in Newslibrary only go back to 1997. In an attempt to get information on two Yakima County fugitive cases (including this one), I contacted the Yakima County public library to see if they had any articles regarding these cases. I want to publicly thank them for taking the time to look up the articles and sending them to me.
The articles I was provided also mention that Ignacio and Julio were the fathers of multiple children. This is a really horrible case and I hope that there can be justice.
